Sarah and I are finally getting the opportunity to sneak away together in a couple of weeks. This will be my first time away from home since the surgery. I am really looking forward to it, but admittedly have a little anxiety about being somewhere different and away from the security of the local hospital. I told Sarah several weeks into my recovery that as soon as I had the clearance to travel, I wanted to get away for a little bit, and I am thankful for my wonderful sister and brother-in-law for their willingness to watch the kids.
If you would have asked me twelve weeks ago, if I thought that I would be ready to hop in the car and drive for a few hours and spend some time away, I would have said “no”. Through the power of prayer, and trust in God, I have come a long way in the last three months. There are still many issues that I am working through, but I do not take it for granted that I am alive and getting around.
Lamentations 3:25:
The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him. (NLT)
Good news…I’ll be praying that you have a really good time,and, that God protects you and Sarah. Also, thankful that you have family to watch your kids.
